So, as your opinion is no more relevant than anyone else who is it for to decide?
The key here is 'not necessarily based on fact or knowledge' so I'd respectfully suggest that those ACTUALLY involved in the incident might have a better understanding than you.

Don't have to respectfully suggest fella as you are absolutely right.

it would be a good start if everyone had the same approach and stopped calling out 'isms on behalf of others.

Yes, he is a genuine character and just what the PL needs to counter the surliness of Jose and the humourless Pep.

That's true but also the same in other scenarios.

The blokes in the ground giving the signs and offering out opposition fans from the safety of a different stand or behind a row of plod would crap a brick if they ended up face to face.

I don't think anyone would call the ref a w*nker to his face either apart from the players :lol:

Interesting, as he said on the radio the other day he was already contracted to Wycombe for the 2020/21 season.

AFC Wimbledon thought they had got the best out of Akinfenwa and on 30th May 2016, after scoring a penalty in a 2–0 win against Plymouth Argyle in the League Two Play-off Final, Akinfenwa was released from his contract with them. He told Sky Sports in his post-match interview: "I think I'm technically unemployed, so any managers hit me up on the WhatsApp and get me a job"

It will be interesting to see how he copes in The Championship next season. I don`t think he has played at that level before.

At 38, with "special" skills, it will be a big test for him. I look forward to it!

So, you're suggesting the N word is fine too, because black people use that themselves?

In my eyes a buffalo is a strong animal that’s difficult to take down. They aren’t that agile but they take a huge amount of effort and strength to subdue. As seen on various animal TV documentaries.

In my eyes Akinfenwa is a strong footballer who is difficult to take down. He’s not agile but he takes a huge amount of effort and strength to subdue.

Akinfenwa also posts a photo of him with a grown man on his back with a split screen of a buffalo with a lion on his back before the comment by the opposing staff member is made.
